SELECTIVE TARGETING<\/strong><\/p>\n

New for SmartDancer<\/strong> is ‘Selective Targeting’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By default, all bots\/palettes are targeted to receive commands based on which controller is sending commands.<\/p>\n

Example: Controller RED<\/strong> <\/span>defaults to sending commands to bots\/palettes ending in A thru I<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0Controller BLUE<\/span> <\/strong>defaults to sending commands to\u00a0bots\/palettes ending in J thru R<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now you can choose which specific bots\/palettes will receive commands from a given controller based upon the NAMING of the controller.\u00a0 Controllers are named PE18???<\/strong> where ??? now dictates which bots\/palettes are to be targeted.\u00a0 Example:\u00a0 PE18a-i<\/strong> means this controller sends commands to bots\/palettes ending in any letter between A and I.\u00a0 You could name your controller PE18a-d<\/strong> or PE18c-h<\/strong> or PE18m-m<\/strong> as examples.<\/p>\n

So even if your formations are set for, say, 9 bots\/palettes, if your name only targets, say, 2 bots\/palettes, i.e.\u00a0 PE18a-b<\/strong>, then only those 2 bots\/palettes will move in formation<\/strong> or turn<\/strong> or june<\/strong> or\u00a0 change speed or <\/strong>change division<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n

This is insanely off-the-charts<\/strong> powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can have 1 controller controlling 8) bots\/palettes.
\nAnother 2 controllers controlling 4\u00a0bots\/palettes each.
\nAnd\u00a0another 4 controllers controlling 2\u00a0bots\/palettes each.
\nSo with 7 controllers you can select how different groupings of bots\/palettes will function.<\/p>\n

HOVER TEXT<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have added hover-text that shows the name of the bots.\u00a0 They will display when you press SHOW and go away when you press HIDE.<\/p>\n

ACTIVATION IDs<\/strong><\/p>\n

By default, the Activation IDs<\/strong> are set to 1 for the RED<\/strong> <\/span>controller and 2 for the BLUE<\/strong> <\/span>controller.<\/p>\n

If you want additional controllers, you can copy the\u00a0 RED<\/strong> <\/span>or BLUE<\/strong> <\/span>controller.\u00a0 You can change its color and assign it new activation IDs by changing the first entry in the *channels<\/strong> nc.<\/p>\n

ActivationId,3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now when sending commands from the Artiste Performance HUD, you set the controller that will receive subsequent commands by sending an ActivationId command.<\/p>\n

SD=IDx (x = number matching ActivationId in *channels nc)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course you can give more than one controller the same ActivationId<\/strong> in the *channels nc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And if you send an SD=ID0<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 command (zero<\/strong><\/span>), then ALL<\/strong> <\/span>controllers will receive subsequent commands.<\/p>\n

RESET_SMART_DANCER<\/strong><\/p>\n

SD=RESET_SMART_DANCER<\/strong> is a new command you can send from the Artiste Performance HUD<\/strong> to reset the SmartDancer script in the bot or Palette.<\/p>\n

Resetting from the SmartDancer Controller or from AutoFX , automatically Registers you with the SmartDancer Controller and Bot-Positioners and sends the formation-vectors to them so they know how to move based on just a formation name.<\/p>\n

REGISTER<\/strong> and UNREGISTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Registering is automatic upon SmartDancer Controller reset.\u00a0<\/strong> Registering restricts control of the SmartDancer Controller to just ONE person at a time. It also\u00a0sends the formation-vectors to bots\/Palettes so they know how to move based on just a formation name.<\/p>\n

If you have several controllers, you must Register each one, one at a time.<\/p>\n

Also, SD=UNREGISTER\u00a0<\/strong>has been fixed<\/p>\n
